A Queer L.tter-a Very Interesting Case
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX Feb. 4.-Sheriff Harris is
in receipt of the following letter, which
was copied by a friend OF his ct Gid
dings, Lee county, and forwarded here.
The Sheriff says if Hurd Harris, alias Bill
Black, has ever been confined in the Waco
all neither he nor mis- deputies know any
thing about 1t. And if he did get in and
cut his way out he left the hole 50 securely
stopped up that no one has been able TO
find it.
COLEMAN CITY, COLEMAN COUNTY, Ten,
Mr.. Henry Watson:
Dear Friend-It is with pleasure that l
seat myself to drop you few lines to let
you know where am. Henry l got in &
fight the other day and l shot man and

me and puL me in Waco jail
was expecting to be arrested and
put a file under my undershirt and l
broke jail it taken me three days to get
out went to Coleman and got a JOB Of
work driving the stage from the depot
down town, | got $3.50 day for my
work l will start home to-day, you NAV
write to Giddings, so keep this to your
self Henry, whatever you do. SO good
bye. Your friend, Hurd Harris. My
name up here is Bill Black.
The above, which is 8 verbatim ct
literatim ct punctuatim copy of the let
ter, is published in hopes that 1t may put
officers elsewhere on the lookout for a
possibly slick rascal.
A very Interesting case was commenced
in the County court to-day, being the
State vs.. Edgar Jablonowski. The de-
PENDANT, who is boy about sixteen years
old, was a student of Waco University
last summer, and is charged with aggra-
waited assault on the venerable DR.. Bur
Lesson, President of the University. DR..
BurlesOn reDrOved the boy, and in the
melee that followed young JablonowSki,
who had rocks in his pocket, bruised up
DR.. BuIleson very sorely. The affair
created local sensgti N, friends of both
sides taking interest in the matter, until
it got in the local newspapers and created
a regular tempest in teapot. IN all
there are about forty witnesses to be
examined.

Tho Publishers Decline to Pay the In
creased Price of Composition.
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. There are pre-
monitions of a difficulty between the pub
fishers of Chicago daily papers and the
Typographical Union. The union has ad-
vanced the price of composition from 81
cents per 1000 ems on afternoon papers to
40 cents, and on morning apers from
40 cents TO IS cents, and have given the
publishers the necessary thirty days
notice. The publishers decline to &C.
cede TO the advance and demand that the
question shall he submitted to arbitra-
ton. The printers on the other hand say
they have been beaten twice by arbtra-
ton and that they will not sub
NIT their claims to any such
tribunal again. 1t is difficult
to tell what the result will be as all the
publishers stand together. The contest
will be watched with considerable inter-
est as it involves the situations of 1000 or
5000 men. Union men claim there are
very few non union printers in Chicago,
and that the publishers will have to come
to their terms or stop publication, =

The Trial
Special 10 the Gazette.
MExIA, TEX, Feb. 4.-The jury of in
quest in the Neal Quarles murder case
after examining few witnesses, rendered
a verdict ttat deceased had come to his
death from pistol shot in the head anG
the severing of his iugular vein BY
weapons in the hand of unknown parties
The evidence before the jury was suf-
ticient however to recommend the reten'
tion of Steve IRWIN and Nedom Burton,
who are now in Jail at this place. Gus
Williams, who has been in Jail since
the dav of the murder, and
Chess Adams were released. The
jury adjourned but were informed
by Mayor Doyle that they might be again
called together upon the return OF Mar
shall Hood, who is now absent searching
for Albert Jefferson, who is charged by
Steve Irwin with having done the shoot
ing and afterwards ritied the dead mans
pocket of watch aud money.
NedOm Burton was interviewed to-day,
and while looking badly down-hearted,
asserts his innocence in this case al
though he acknowledges to having served
in the peniteptiary from Anderson county
for assault with intent to murder. He
also has the reputation in Freestone
county of being bad man.
Neal Quarles, the murdered man, on
the day he was killed had been intrusted
by Mr.. John Driver with SIS to go to the
Brazos bottoms and employ hands to
work on his farm. He was also given SIS
by j K Short to go to Ds las after
Quarles' sister, who was going to live on
Shorts farm. 1t Is supposed that the
negroes charged with committing the
murder, who lived near Quarles' BIT came
cosnlzant of these facts and followed him
to MexIa for the purpose of killing him
and securing the money. 1t Is also
learned thst they bors Quarles an old
grudge because of his frequent taunts on
account of their lack of standing socially
8 his superiority over them in this re
gard. Steve Twins wife separated from
him some time ago, and he charges
Quarles with being the cause, he being
very popular among the colored!female5

The committee of Massachusetts, Demo.
Gratis appointed to ascertain the number of
partisan and offensive Republicans holding
federal offices in that state under the pres
ent Democratic administration. and the rea.
sons for their retention, have made their
report, and it furnishes very entertaining
reading. The grand total of federal Office
holders in Massachusetts they find to be
1914, of whom 3S2S are claSsed as RepubH.
cans. The report sneers at civil-service-
reform policy which retains in office "the
enemy" and allows the faithful to cool their
heels outside Uncle Sans door.
On Tuesday the Democratic state conven-
ton was held at Worcester. Ex-Congress
man Henry B. Lowering was nominated for
governor, and Walter f. Cutting of Pitts
field for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Four dele
gates at-large TO next years national con.
vention were chosen. The convention
seems to have been one of the genuine old
fashioned Democratic sort. In the corridors
OF the hotels and about the hall of the con
vention the old-fashioned, real Democrat
was himself again. He was happy he
denounced civil service reform: he re-
viled those Democrats who talked Of the
better element and he sneered at the
Democratic President who kept Republicans
in office. The Springfield Republican bit
terly bewails the way the party has gone
back to 'wallow in Butlerism":
" So the Massachusetts Democracy. in

This action of the Bay State Democrats

The grangers may have failed to mate
rialize' at the Rutland hearing before the
Interstate Commerce commission, as the
railroad and ring newspapers juhilantly an
nounced but they got there all the same.
Elsewhere we publish the decision of the
commission in full, and we hope no readers
of The Phoenix will fail to study it with
care 1t fully sustains the position taken
by the grangers and their counsel in behalf
of all the people of the state, except the
few who pile up portly fortunes in running
our railroads by misusing the great powers
and privileges given TO them by the state.
For the first time in the railroad history of
this state our great railroad magnates have
encountered a power mightier than they,
whose behests they must heed. Skillful
manipulation, the seductive influence of
free passes, aud political bossism avail them
nothing. 1t is an suspicious day for the
people of Vermont and the forerunner,
we hope, of purer political methods and of
restored material prosperity. This decis-
ion secures to the people Of Vermont the
beginning Of fair and equitable treatment
and service from the railroads they have
created, in place of the irritating and ruin
GUS adverse discrimination from which they
have so long suffered We now hope speed
lily to see the day when all inequalities, dis
ordinations and favoritisms in the use and
service of our railroads will disappear, and
all citizens of all callings and conditions
will be treated precisely alike-when, in
short, each person without exception who
has the services of railroads shall pay for
them precisely what all other persons are
required to pay for similar service-when
there shall be no free transportation and no
free passes for personal favorites and polit-
ical retainers With these reforms secured,
and the abolition of the wheels within
wheels that have wrongfully absorbed the
legitimate earnings of the roads-like the
kiting car company hoated apparently al
most entirely on watered stock upon which
regular dividends have been exacted-the
investors in the railroads themselves. as
well as the people, may reasonably look for
ward to better times. This is the begin
ming of great and suspicious reform whose
benefits will reach every citizen Of the state
The national commission is doing a good
work, hut the state must bear its part in
the reform to make it perfect and perpetu-
al. beginning, and only beginning, of
needed legislation was made last year
which must be added to and perfected as
experience may suggest The people and
the farmers especially should see to it that
this reform takes no steps backward.
